Obama Complains Internet Allowed Conservatives to Escape Liberal Media Monopoly
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/27/2017 5:11:40 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Interviewed by Prince Harry on BBC radio, Barack Obama blathered on about the internet in ways likely to warm liberal cockles.

Obama’s comments reflect his statist impulses. And they ultimately amount to a complaint that the internet has permitted conservatives to break out of the stranglehold that the liberal media used to exercise over the flow of information.

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Multi-tasking: 0vomit checks his pant crease at the same time he performs the Clinton thumb-on-fist gesture. All the while maintaining his dainty sissy posture.

The internet has broken the back of liberal media control. Dan Rather never would have been fired, and now one lying propagandist is lost on some internet back channel interviewing defunct rock bands.

People can verify and analyze and give an alternative opinion to the constant DNC approved copy from major media. Funny - it is the Left that calls for control of the internet, like they do in Cuba, in China and North Korea. Barack Obama, and his peg boy, Chris Matthews, are right behind them.

Bernie Sanders is a communist and I would not leave any amendment in that guy’s hands as well. Their lying arrogance crushes human rights all over the world - so in their Orwellian nightmare, they can make it better for all peoples.

The Left was even looking to ban Rush Limbaugh from the radio way before the internet.

They are all about controlling speech, they are all about power, and treating the people like slaves on a plantation.

Shouldn’t Obama be bowing?

These days he only bows for muslims.

Is there anything worse as a Court Jester than a bad amateur comedian who laughs at his own jokes?

Harry would probably fire Bo Jangles if it wasn't for their hot interracial Bromance .

I did not place the item in Breaking News.

Since you apparently don’t enjoy my stuff, may I quote what you said to someone else on another thread:

“You don’t have to click on the thread, unless there’s someone holding a gun to your head.”

The only satisfaction I have is that zero is spending his ‘retirement’ days 180o apart from what he had planned and expected all 8 years.

The book Microcosm explains this well. A free and open internet denies government the ability to hide or shade the facts and truth of any matter. Where information flows freely Tyranny despairs!

Well said.

Obama would like to go back to the good old days, when a handful of liberal media outlets controlled the flow of information.

Don’t worry, a few people here have an obsessive hatred of anything they call a “blog”.... of course, they don’t seem to realize that WaPo, NYTimes, et al. are simply blogs for the Church of Liberalism. But somehow articles posted from those sources are real “news”.... strange.

It reports on a BBC interview not covered by the US media. Of course, if we wish to confine ourselves to fake news from the msm then we’ve pretty much given up, haven’t we?

“Barack Obama blathered on about.....8 years “and the idiot Prince just laps it all up”.....

Guess the “Prince” didn’t listen to his mother who (IMO) has zero time for “zero”.

Haven’t we all had enough of odumbo for the past eight years, won’t someone please take him away to some deserted island and leave him there? Enough IS enough!
